Did you try from a fresh svn checkout ?  It is easy to miss some trivial 
mistakes when developing a package because some of the files do not 
exist in svn but are only on your development tree (it happens to me all 
the time).

The first obvious problem is in regression/setup.py, which uses some 
source files which do not exist in subversion (neighbour vs neighbor):

...
compile options: '-Iregression 
-I/home/david/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include 
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -c'
g++: neighbours/neighbours.cpp
g++: neighbours/neighbours.cpp: No such file or directory
g++: no input files
g++: neighbours/neighbours.cpp: No such file or directory
g++: no input files

Also, I don't think you should use * in add_subpackage: it may hide some 
missing files, and make the problem I mentioned just before about 
difference between your tree and svn tree harder to track. It may well 
be the cause of the problem (you may have both neighbour and neighbor on 
your machine, for example).

cheers,
